I remember years ago when my grand-daughter was small, she had a "furby" I think that's what they were called. Anyway, everyone had gone out with Pop for a drive, and I was in the loungeroom ironing. The furby was just sitting on top of a cupboard with it's eyes closed when suddenly the eyes flew open and it made a sound- did it ever freak me out! :O

My kids are much bigger now, but when my 22yo dd was a baby her auntie gave her a lovely gift. It was a cookie monster pushing a popcorn cart.. only it was plastic cookie chips instead of popcorn, and they popped loudly to the band marching music that came out of the thing.. She loved it.. I hated it. Years later I paid her back for her giggling kindness by buying her a "gun" for her son that had 50 launching sounds.. grenades etc.. OBNOXIOUS!! They didn't allow guns for toys although daddy was a hunter, I didn't care, payback baby!!
